To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their readiness to make known their peace conditions without reservation at the opening of nego- tiations disproves any doubt of their sincerity. Our enemies, in. whose power it was to examine the real value of our offer neither made any examination nor made counter-pro- posals. Instead of that, they declared that peace was impossible so long as the restoration of violated rights and liberties, the acknowl- edgment of the principle of nationalities, and the free existence of small States were n...ot guaranteed. The sincerity which our enemies deny to the proposal of the four allied Powers can not be allowed by the world to these demands if it recalls the fate of the Irish peo- ple, the destruction of the freedom and independence of the Boer Republics, the subjection of Northern Africa by England. France and Italy, the suppression of foreign nationalities in Russia, and, finally, the oppression of Greece, which is unexampled in history. Moreover, in regard to the alleged violation of international rights by the four allied Powers, those Powers which, from the beginning of the war, have trampled upon right and torn up the treaties on which it was based have no right to protest.
